Abstract (en)
A centrifugal fan for ventilated rotating machinery is provided having tapered fan blades (46,47) to reduce sound pressure levels generated by fan operation over a wide speed range. The tapering of the fan blades (46,47) keeps the cross-sectional area of each flow channel (51) substantially constant as the air flows radially through the fan, resulting in a less turbulent flow. Each fan blade (46,47) may include a height profile having a tapered segment (55) in which blade height decreases in proportion to increasing radial distance from the central axis (49) of the fan.
